'Why another book on engagement? In the opening book in this HR 2025 series, Perry Timms, challenges HR to think differently about what they stand for, as well as what they think they should contribute to organizations now and in the future.Consistent with this theme, this book exposes the paradox of a standardised approach to building an engagement workforce. Drawing together ideas from existing work, supported with case vignettes, the author aims to build a case for thinking differently about how to do this.The book starts by retracing the roots of employee engagement and in doing so questions some of the assumptions about the different types (locus) of engagement. It then moves to provide case vignettes, of how organizations in different contexts approach employee engagement. These examples indicate how engagement can be achieved in different contexts by paying more attention to person-role-fit, rather than through a preoccupation with group-wide engagement initiatives. The book concludes with rethinking the relationship between job design and employee engagement, arguing that more innovative approaches to job design, such as job sculpting and job crafting, ultimately achieve the same desired outcomes as more standardised employee engagement initiatives. Moreover these more innovative approaches to job design reflect the trend for more flexible and agile organizational forms.'The table of contents includes:IntroductionRe-tracing the roots of employee engagementVignettes on employee engagement: organizational, teams and workJob design and employee engagement – handing back controlThe future of job design and employee engagementReferences'

'Historically, textbooks have been presented as dry monologues, a one-way conversation that often seems to talk to the teacher more than to the student. “Boring” and “confusing” should never be synonymous with any aspect of education. Instead, we seek to promote an active dialogue. Authors, teachers, and students should work together to create an environment where education flourishes. We want you, the student, to understand the nature of our endeavor. After all, the only reason that this book exists is to aid you in learning financial accounting. If you do not read the chapters because you find them boring or if you do not understand the material that is included, no one benefits. We will have wasted our time. We view this textbook as a guide. In constructing these seventeen chapters, we have worked to guide you on a voyage through the world of business and financial reporting. We want to help you attain a usable knowledge of the principles of financial accounting as well as an appreciation for its importance and logic. By learning its theory, presentation, and procedures, individuals become capable of using financial accounting to make prudent business decisions. That is an important goal regardless of the direction of your career. We have relied on our experience as teachers to highlight the aspects of this material that make it interesting, logical, and relevant.''Every page of this book, every word in fact, has been created to encourage and enhance your understanding. We want you to benefit from our coverage, but just as importantly, we want you to enjoy the process. When presented correctly, learning can be fun and, we believe, should be.'

This is a free textbook from BookBoon.'Many of us are poor listeners. We forget 75% of what we do hear within two months. We forget between a third and a half of what we hear within 8 hours. If someone is not observant, a poor listener, easily distracted, fails to concentrate or lacks interest, he or she has remembers even less. And this is exacerbated by the digital age of speed where everything seems to be happening at once, and where people seem to take pride in the self-defeating behavior of multitasking.Smartphones and iPhones have apps for almost everything. We are reminded to turn off the stove, when to leave for an appointment and where we left the car. Memorization seems to be a dying skill; because everything is available at the click of a mouse or a tap of an icon. Unfortunately, as our natural memory declines, we may even forget where we left our smartphone! The problem with our brain, and with memory and other cognitive skills, is that if we don’t use them we lose we lose them.In this brief book Harold Taylor, author of Managing your memory (1988), explains not only how to keep your memory skills intact through lifestyle changes and attitude, but how to increase your powers of memory and recall by using your brain’s natural ability to visualize and associate.'
